Abstract

Bibliography managment tools provide great advantage for researchers with writing their articles or research papers. In academic environment, EndNote, RefWorks, Zotero, Mendeley are the most popular software programms. Due to the lack of style files in which citation rules in Turkish language are described, these softwares stay functionless. In this study by providing turkish adaptation of APA citation style, new codes were written into the style file via CSL application. New style file is presented to users after testing its workability in Zotero and Mendeley programms. Thanks to APA-TR style file created as a result of the study, it is possibble to use bibliography managment tools which prefer CSL application in writing research papers Turkish language.

Keywords: Citation Style Language, Citation Style, APA, Reference management software, Turkish adaptation
